Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Dakota Assessment System provides information for schools to use in evaluating their teaching and curriculum as well as allowing parents to monitor their child's progress. All public schools in South Dakota test students according to South Dakota Codified Law 13-3-55, which was adopted in January 1997 and amended in January 2003. This law mandates that every public school district shall annually administer the same assessment to all students in grades three to eight, inclusive, and in grade eleven. The assessment shall measure the academic progress of each student. Every public school district shall also annually administer to all students in grades five and nine an achievement test to assess writing skills. The assessment instruments shall be provided by the Department of Education. Each state-designed test shall be correlated with the state's content standards. The assessment is used to determine individual, school-level, district-level, and statewide achievement in reaching the goal of proficiency of the state's essential core reading and math content standards. South Dakota has four performance levels: Advanced, Proficient, Basic and Below Basic. Performance descriptors have been set for reading and mathematics. These descriptors are narrative statements of academic achievement at each of the performance levels and provide students, parents, and teachers with information as to the level of mastery of South Dakota essential core content standards. Individual reports are available for the state assessments. School building and district results show how groups of students are performing and the success of the school or district in helping students meet the proficient and advanced performance levels. Those students, who are unable to participate in a statewide assessment as determined by the IEP (Individual Education Program) team, will participate in the Statewide Team-led Alternate Assessment Reporting System (STAARS). A resource list is provided. An Eligibility Criteria Worksheet is appended.

Download or read book Best Practices for State Assessment Systems Part I written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-08-28 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators and policy makers in the United States have relied on tests to measure educational progress for more than 150 years. During the twentieth century, technical advances, such as machines for automatic scoring and computer-based scoring and reporting, have supported states in a growing reliance on standardized tests for statewide accountability. State assessment data have been cited as evidence for claims about many achievements of public education, and the tests have also been blamed for significant failings. As standards come under new scrutiny, so, too, do the assessments that measure their results. The goal for this workshop, the first of two, was to collect information and perspectives on assessment that could be of use to state officials and others as they review current assessment practices and consider improvements.

Download or read book State Assessment Systems written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-01-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators and policy makers in the United States have relied on tests to measure educational progress for more than 150 years, and have used the results for many purposes. They have tried minimum competency testing; portfolios; multiple-choice items, brief and extended constructed-response items; and more. They have contended with concerns about student privacy, test content, and equity-and they have responded to calls for tests to answer many kinds of questions about public education and literacy, international comparisons, accountability, and even property values. State assessment data have been cited as evidence for claims about many achievements of public education, and the tests have also been blamed for significant failings. States are now considering whether to adopt the "common core" academic standards, and are also competing for federal dollars from the Department of Education's Race to the Top initiative. Both of these activities are intended to help make educational standards clearer and more concise and to set higher standards for students. As standards come under new scrutiny, so, too, do the assessments that measure their results. This book summarizes two workshops convened to collect information and perspectives on assessment in order to help state officials and others as they review current assessment practices and consider improvements.
